Deploying the Batch Again
Deploy liferay-forums-batch.zip once. Each time it’s deployed again:
- Custom fields and relationships that an administrator added to Liferay’s User object are deleted. Add them again afterwards.
- Liferay logs an error that the email templates already exist. The batch keeps your changes to them.
- On Liferay PaaS, where the batch job runs at every deploy, the job shows as failed for the same reason. The forum’s data is imported before that, so nothing is lost. Step 5 of On Liferay PaaS prevents it, by removing the email templates file after the first deploy.
An Error Is Logged When a Topic Is Updated
Without the Liferay fix LPD-102310, when the forum’s microservice updates a topic that has a category, Liferay logs ERROR ... Invalid asset category with external reference code .... The topic keeps its category, and nothing else is affected.
On Liferay PaaS and SaaS, a Site Initializer Job Run Again Resets the Site’s Address
Each time a site initializer’s job runs again on an existing site, the site’s friendly URL is reset to /group-<number>, and the forum’s links show not found pages. LPD-85594 fixes this for site initializer zips deployed to Liferay itself, but not for the job that Liferay Cloud runs. Remove each site initializer project once its site exists, as in Installing on Liferay PaaS, and on Liferay SaaS don’t deploy a site initializer again. If an address was reset, set it back in Site Settings.
